## Description
_TrackWords_ is a single player, freeware word game based on a game of the
same name which appears in a book called “The Oxford A to Z of Word Games”. It
is played on a grid containing random letters from which the player must
construct words from adjacent letters. The original game uses a 3×3 grid but
the author does not consider that challenging enough so this game has 3×3, 4×4
and 5×5 grids to play on.
The game comes with its own dictionary containing over eighty seven thousand
words plus it also has functionality allowing the player to add their own
words which are held in a separate list. The game has a word search function
called ‘Joshua’ which is used to find and count all the words that can be
made, this is used to calculate the player’s score which is based on the
percentage of words found. Whenever the player enters a word that does not
appear in the game’s dictionary it is queried by Joshua and if the player
allows the word it is added to the user’s word list
Other options include playing a timed game, setting the minimum word length, a
fast game and the ability to play either a random or a specific numbered game
(the author claims a potential four billion possible games can be played).
